Novade Product Update for July 2021

 

Enhanced photo feature in form duplicates adds greater safety for users

Photos will no longer be automatically replicated when users of Novade Quality and Novade Safety-HSE duplicate quality forms, which require camera-only photos, or safety forms such as PTWs and Inspections. Instead, users will now need to retake photos when a quality or safety form is duplicated. This enhanced feature not only enforces greater safety, but is also especially crucial for users who need to provide an update on the site’s condition in real time. An option has also been formalised for Novade Safety-HSE users to easily duplicate photos in the new PTW template if necessary.
